and obesity, refined sugar, smoking, alcoholism, etc. You might be doing more harm than good by saying it's meat.

Impossible Whopper tastes about the same if you eat it all together, but if you taste the patty on its own you can easily tell it's not real meat. It's not bad though, and I'd probably eat it more often anyway if it was cheaper.

Fast food burgers never tasted like much to begin with. I'm not saying you aren't allowed to like it but talking like you like eating meat and having fast food is contradictory. I replaced the patty with other ingredients mashed together for years and I'm never looking back.

>> No.12862041

They put the patties in the same try as the burgers. All those juices get into the patties that why it tastes like meat.

Dairy cows in the US are all given the estrogen hormone supplement, rBST or rBGH, proven carcinogens, which is one reason most 1st world countries will not accept dairy imports from the US. When you eat US fast food, you're getting far more estrogen than anything containing soy. Strange, the (((US))) is the only 1st world country to permit that, lol!

I decided to try a whopper (the regular one, I'll never try the vegan thing) on a whim for the first time in years. I had concluded way back that they have the worst burgers. Dunno why but holy shit I'm borderline addicted to whoppers now. The veggies are actually good, the patty with that weird articifical smoke flavor just works for me now, and they seem to be sweeter overall than other burgers, presumably because of the bread. I want one right now. It's strange but this is all true.

it doesn't taste the same it tastes like bean paste or some shit there's a strange aftertaste right after you swallow it. the whopper is absolutely covered in condiments and sauce. I would prefer cafeteria food beef than that fake shit especially if they're throwing it on a charbroiler. it also isn't any healthier for you than meat so what's the point? To top it off it ISN'T vegan nor is it vegetarian because it is not prepared on separate equipment. Might as well mix in some animal products.

I ordered one, ate half, threw away the other half. To be fair I bought the combo with a whopper and I threw away half of the beef one too.

It tastes just like a Boca burger too. Maybe the texture is a little different. I think the main reason it's trending is because "Impossible" gets more attention than "Boca".

At least sugar goes through a metabolic pathway that uses energy in order to store it. Fat can store as fat. People eat too much fat (from meat and cheese). Hmm....
